I should add that ground passes are more expensive in week one ~ £20, I think.
Blimey - when I used to go after school it was about 5bob!
My friend's mum used to have tickets and we'd meet her outside centre court and she and her mate would hand over their tickets and we 'd watch the rest of the day's play.

Virginia Wade went to my school ( long before I went there), and rumour had it that if she saw you had turned up in uniform she'd pull a few strings for you

I'm just wondering, are spectators for the final at Wimbledon each year by invitation only or are the public allowed to apply for seats. The reason I ask is, you see every Tom, Di*k, Harry and his wife there, but I bet if jo public tried to get seats they wouldn't stand a chance.
You can apply via the public ballot Stephen. We got tickets for this a few years back. Sadly it was not centre court final :cry:
